Hi,
As prior e-mail described, umount would hang after journal flushing failure.
When journal flushing in ocfs2_commit_cache() fails, following umount
procedure at stage of shutting journal may be blocked due to non-zero
transactions number.
Once jbd2_journal_flush() fails, the journal will be marked as ABORT
state within JBD2. There is no way to come back afterwards.
So there is no chance to set transactions number to zero, thus, shutting
journal may be blocked .
ocfs2_commit_thread()
ocfs2_commit_cache()
jbd2_journal_flush() -> failure takes journal into ABORT state,
thus, transaction number will never set to zero
The back trace is cited blow:

To solve this issue, I propose an improved version of patch referring to
Andrew's and Joseph's comments.
Any more comments is welcomed as always.
